I saw her with another man walkin' downtown
She's not mine and she'll never be by my side walkin' downtown

I've only met her once before, she was alone in a back booth
A drink and a cigarette, smoking like she was waiting for someone
Me stealing glances as she stole my breath the next one's on me

May I take this seat, the rest of the bar recedes
We talked on traveling back roads overseas
'Girl, a change sounds good to me' she said
'Who can find that kind of time?'

I'd only met her once before, she was alone in a back booth
A drink and a cigarette, drinking like she was waiting for someone
Me stealing glances as she stole my breath the next one's on me

And after it's done, the sun comes up and she's gone
After it's done you just move on
A night can show what's made plain by the sun

I'd only met her once before, she was alone in a back booth
A drink and a cigarette, smoking like she was waiting for someone
Me stealing glances as she stole my breath
